Megan Leong, Featured Artist for Summit Art Festival

Each year, the Art Festival Director chooses a featured artist to create a piece of artwork to use in promotional material for the Art Festival. Leong was chosen this year because of her artistic talent, her creative piece of artwork she chose to make for the feature, and her love of Lee’s Summit. “I grew up in Lee’s Summit, so it is where many [of my] memories and growing experiences took place,” said Leong. “It is a place that I feel very cared for and supported.”
